Prague hotels will no longer provide emergency shelter for homeless people

Prague City Hall has announced that the hotels which opened to the homeless during the coronavirus pandemic two years ago will close for them at the end of June. Several Prague hotels have been accommodating homeless people at the expense of City Hall since March 2020 and now serve about 160 people. Some of them will be given a place in the city's hostels, but some are at risk of having to return to a life on the streets, according to NGOs which are scrambling to help.
